Not that it makes any difference, but should LUPINES have been allowed? I can only see LUPINE on ODO as an adjective and as a North American variant spelling of LUPIN. Was this an oversight, or is the American spelling rule not enforced these days?

Very convincing performance by Andrew there. Bad luck Stephen.

Recap up whenever I can get to a computer. Probably 1-2 hours.

North American ≠ US. i.e. TIDBIT is fine, DONUT is not.

I see, thanks. Seems a very peculiar rule.

It is.

Agree with you about Andrew's performance. Should be a good final.

My new Wi-Fi network magically doesn't support the site I use for recapping! Joy! Not sure I can get an estimate on how long the recap will take this time, and if RW or anyone else gets there first, I invite them to complete it. Sorry. I'm more tempted than ever to just drop everything and come live in London.
